In some cases I need to install modules locally - that is not as root. I use
Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/gabor/perl5lib
and I know I will somehow have to add this directory to @INC.
As I would like to use these local installation in all of my modules I decided to add the path to PERL5LIB. The problem is that it seems various modules will install themself in diferent subdirectories. So now I have the following directories in PERL5LIB:
export P5=/home/gabor/perl5lib
export PERL5LIB=$P5/share/perl
export PERL5LIB=$PERL5LIB:$P5/lib/perl
export PERL5LIB=$PERL5LIB:$P5/share/perl/5.8
export PERL5LIB=$PERL5LIB:$P5/usr/local/share/perl/5.8.7
export PERL5LIB=$PERL5LIB:$P5/lib/perl/5.8
export PERL5LIB=$PERL5LIB:$P5/usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.7
and I fully expect that I'll have to add even more directories as I install more modules. Is there an easier way to declare all these directories?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
